Shizuka Urusai loves PINCUSHIONS

Most would assume that the most difficult items for me to make in my shops are probably the zipper pouches. A lot of people have the fear of sewing zippers. Well, for me, I think pincushions are by far the most challenging. They combine so many different types of techniques! They're very fun to make, but can be tricky. So I have a great appreciation for those who make them.

So today's blog post is an Etsy shop feature of those who make super cute pincushions with a little something extra to make them POP! Enjoy! 

I would never have thought to add crochet applique. Awesome!  By namolio in England!

Holy moley, that's making my mouth water! Too cute! By SeaPinks.

Pincushions

Hello friends. :) When I wasn't relaxing in the pool today and having coffee indulgences, I was hard at work on my Etsy stock. My weekend goal was to have 10 items ready for Etsy - and I actually achieved it! This is monumental, as my general attitude towards my weekend goals is something akin to:

 

But not this time. I not only bought a new bookshelf and reorganized my entire library, which was my first weekend goal, but I made my 10th item just a few minutes ago. So with no further ado, enjoy some photos of my new stock!

And what is this? Two pincushions, nearly finished. All they need is a big cute button to complete them and give them that pincushion shape. :) I'll have those up on Etsy soon.

For those more observant readers out there, you probably realized that the fabric used in these pincushions was VERY familiar... that's because I save up all of my scraps, and whatever is big enough, I recycle either for making little bows, or pincushions. I try not to put any fabric to waste!

Have a wonderful night, loves.
